International Swimming Hall of Fame

If you’re a tourist attraction and you’re threatening to leave a city if it doesn’t pony up for better digs, it’s a good idea first to make sure you actually attract tourists.

I don’t know anybody who traveled all the way to Fort Lauderdale to visit the International Swimming Hall of Fame. If they came anywhere close to the place, they were probably lured by the string of patio bars down the street.
